The people might be lett to guess, whether the honor was In- tended for John Hancock, who wrote a free and flowing hand In the Revolutionary pe- riod; or for Winfield Beott Hancock, s Dem- ocratic delty of modern date. ‘The am- biguity in thig caso would not bo more pain- ful than tho doubt which lias arisen In con- nection with the name of Jackson. Was St “ Stonowall” or “Old Hickory” the Com- ¢ intssioners desired to honor? \ eens Soste of-the South Park Commissioners declare thet Tue Trunk ts mistaken in supposing that the “Jackson, they called the South Park after was “Stonewall” In- stead of Andrew. But how Is the public to know that? When people come up here from the South and learn that one of the Chicago parks ling been named “Jackson” py a Democratic Board of Commissioners, they will naturally suppose it was called after “Stonewall” Jackson, who was a good deal more of a State-sovereignty Democrat than Andrew Jackson—the father of tho spolls system of American pollties, Nine Democrats out of ten will think it must be the Virginia Stonewall rather than the ‘Ten- nessee Andy for whom the park is called, Af tho park had been named after Franklin (an immeasurably greater name than either of the Jacksons) nobody would ever be in doubt.as to who was meant, and every one would perceive and approve the appropriate- ness of the nano, 7 ——_—_—_—_— "Tie disgraceful manifestations of sympathy and indorsement whieh were made fn open court In Washington upon the occasion of the appenrance of the mombors-of the star route ring when ‘brought In by Informa- tion onghtto havo called for-severe repre- henslon from tho presiding Judge, Applause and sigtis of approval from spectators are usually considered in contempt by every well.reguinted court, and are promptly re- buked, and Sf repeated are pruilshed, but the gang of sympathizers with the plunder- ers of the Publie'reasury seem to have been in possession, and to have commended tho prellfainary moves of the defendants’ lawyers with porfect fmpunity, Aside from the con- tempt manlfgsted tor justice, It only goes to show that the Sympathy in Washington fs with those who steal from tho ‘Treasury, and that the only regrets the Washington crowd have in the cage fs that they had not the same opportunities to steit, With a treachorous or incompetent Dlatrict-Attor- ney, anda mob jn opon sympathy with the star-route gang, wlio ara a}lowei to express tholr sontiments without rebuke, it is not vory diiticult to prophesy the oiitcome of the prosecution, ® Mn.

Russet for Attorney-General, Silas Soymour for Stute Engineer, and Franeis M. Finch for Judge of the Court of Appents, ‘Phe significance of the convention and Its work consisted, first, in tho fact that it put the sevt of publle approval in tho tmost ent phatic manner upon tho polley of President Garfield, ‘Tho majority, for some days bee fore the convention, calted themselves and stil choose to be known ag “Garfield Repub- Means. ‘They have ceased to be opponents of Mr, Conkling for the slmpls reason that ho has been wiped out of Now York polities, Opposition to him would mean little or nothing unless he had further power or reputation to ba deprived of, a3 he hasnot. But there isn positive meaning in the policy of adherence to the prlueiplos which guided the Admintstration of President Garftold. ‘The conyentlon has importance, secondly, ag nnote of warning and encouragement to President Arthur. Theexpressions of good: will for the new Exceutive were most cordial and sincoroy but he will not need “to read between tho lines to bo assured that any serlous departure from the polley of his lamented predecessor . will not bo approved by tho majority of the Republican party. ‘The Repubileans of Now York respectfully notified the Prest- dent that his own State would not support Ini in ease he shomul attempt to inaugurate an Administration of revenges. It is not probable that he has personally thought of engaging In so perllous n course; but he Is well known to be nfiteted with counsotors who haye neither his moderation nor his wisdom, We understand the convention to mean, finally, that 'n new order of things ts to bo introdueed In the management of the party iu New York, ‘The city associations are to De reorganized ona fair and equitsble basts, Tho bosses, big and Iitle, have recatved no- tive that they “imust go.” or some years to come tho Republléan party will nominate Its own candidates, and will not submit to dictntlon from any quarte! son has made, He will have to abate his elatm for 85,990 still dite, ng it is plain the Council never Intended to order a revision that woltld not revise. Mr, Goudy says thnt tho cost of printing 2,000 volumes was $2,660, and this amount was defrayed out of the original appropriation of $12,000, leaving 80:40 for nersonal services alone. Of this Intter sum, $3,900 has actually been paid, which Is 0 generous compensation for the work that Mr, Jamieson did, or falled to do, ‘The reviglon will have to be done over ngain, and a new edition of 2,000 volumes printed. A CORRESPONDENT In yesterday's Tumnus asked the pertinent suestion: ‘If the Inw ts at fitlt, who fy responsible—the Inwyers and courtsor the lawmakers?” Our esteemed correspondent had not apparently consid- ered tho possibility that the two torms of hls autithosls might In reality be very nearly syne onymous, While it 1s not precisely true that tho lawyers and the Inwmakers are tho same, itis a fact that the Stato Legislature ts con- trolled and guided to a great extent by mem- bers of the legal profession, The Inst Legis- lature, for oxample, which had less than the usual proportion of Jawyers, hat in the Hunse fifty-one legal gentlemen ont of 155 members, and In the Senate twenty-nine out of fifty-one, Oue-third of the House and more than one-half the Senate was com: posed of Inwyers, and thele fiftiencs In both Houses, as"slfown by tholr position on the committees, was considerably Ju excess of that to which they wore entttied by tholr numbers, No bill could possibly get through that abridged, the privileges of lawyers or made the administration of Justice tess slow andexpensive, ‘The tendency was all in the other direction, and the Legisiature was only prevented with inflnit difficulty from taking away or Hmiting stlll further the final juris- dlction of the Appellate Courts, so that np- pealy might be taken In almpst all eases to the Supreme Court, and the legal profession thereby be made still more flourishing and honorable than it is. ‘ ——— ‘fie Garfield Republicans are understood to be opposed to the pernicious doctrine of “Senatorial courtesy,” and to be resolved upon the destruction of the spolls-hunting machine, and the retirement to private life of the bosses In polities. It follows that they ure in favor of elvil-service reform, ‘There Is no eseape trom this logie, The war ujion Conklingism has no justifiention except In a determination to purify the elyil service and keen it pure by remoy- ing the source of Its corruption, ‘The popu- tar feeling with reference to elvil-service re- form was recognized and expressed in the Now York Convention yesterday, both in the remarks of some of the speakers—nota- bly Senator Miller and George William Curtis—and in the resolutions adopted by the convention. ‘The resolution in regard to Presitent Garfield commended him for his “frantc declaration of tho Intention to restore tho conduct of the public business to bisi- ness principles.” ‘The clvil-service reform resolution proper was as follows: ‘That we pledwo President Arthur our carnest aupport in evory clfort for tho enforcemont of eivil-service reform, recognizing as we do tha fot uit nbuses in connection with the dispens sution of olleial patronage may be lurgely ull inmted, If not wholly removed, vy wise and pructi¢ablo methods of administration. This was not so radical ademand for re- form ag the resolution offered by Mr, Curtls; but It was a strange sign to be hung out by a Republican convention In New York, ant marked an hinmense growth In public opinion sinco the President fell a victim to tho spolis system. ‘ —e —_——_—_—_ GARFIELD 10 HI8 CLASSMATES, By request we reproduce the following pathetle speech of the Inte President, deliv- ered on the oceaston of the colleze cluss re- union fn hig honor on the night of March 3 Inst—the night before lis Inauguration: Cuasssares: ‘lo mo there $s somothing ex- cecdingly pathotictn this reunton, In every eye betore no I see tho Ilyht of friendship and love, aud Tam sure it ip reflected buck to eneh one of you from my linmost heart.

But it was not for him to touch upon the theme which ™e uppermost tn the minds of his auditors. They thought of the great strides In learning, in statesmanship, and in fame, made by the poor and almost friend- less young man who stepped out Into the practical world with thom in 1850—less than tionty-flye years ago. But he thought of the heavy responsibilities: resting upon hin and of the dangers in tho way. He looked in the oyes of his classmates and saw the Maht of friendship andlove, But ho realized, alas! how poworless was the devotion of those old, tried friends to clear hls future pathway of Injustice. “Tomorrow I shall bo enlled to néw responsibilities, and on tho dag after tho world’s wrath will strike. 16 will strike hard, 1. know Jt and you will know it”? It was In thlg fact that the pathos of the reunton of the college- elass of 7°56 consisted, Garfleld know. that he was surrounded that night, on the eve of his Inauguration as President, by {ast friends—friends who would stand by him firmly Inthe right regardless of consequences, and hasten to cover such errors of Judgment. ng lls future courso wight disclose with tho mantle of charity. And so, pleating for charity because consclousof his hunnmn falil- billty and consequent need of It, he sald: “You may write down In your books now the largest percentage ot blunders which you think,l shall be likely to make, and you will bo sure to find fn the end that 1 have made more than you have calculated—many more.” How modest the great nan was In the presence of those who know best how ho had strugated to fit himself for the high des- {lnvavhicn wos then ucaring its traglo and, . Was he proud to stand thus conspic: nously at the heal of his class, after twenty-five years? Doubtless, but the fecling, of .prido had a tinge of tho humility of true — greatness, Had his ambition reached to the Presidency ? Doubttosa, but It was not a vain, fevorish mubition, It had not o’erlenped itself, It had not called to Its ald the futile arts of tha domagug: it had not duscended to tho poor tricks of intrigue. Garfield could say ‘on the ove of ils elevation to the first place: “his honor comesto mo unsought, Inover had the Prosidential fever—not oven for a day; nor have Littonight. I havenofeellny of elation In ylew of tho position 1 am oalled upon tol?

His great ability was con- ecded on all sites, and hig selection ns Premier in the Gariicld Administration was gecepted as n promise of strength. ns Blaine done anything while occupying that position to impair tho public confidence he commanded? Wasn’the rather fully Justt- fled the wisdom of Carfield’s chofee? If, under these clreumstanecs, Gen, Grant wero to go about denoundlng Binine’s appoint ment as a “blunder,” he would only di- courage the theory that le has never for- given Binine for being twies a prominent enndidate for the Presidenay at Himes when Gen.

The Montreal Herald, reternng to the opening of the enlarged Welland Canal, ex- presses the opinion that this event would have attracted far more attention a fow years ngo, and would have been of far more consequences to Ainerican commerce than it is today, From this samo paper comes tho somewhat disappolnting annomneoment that, atter ali the labor. of so many years and the expenditure of so many millions of dollars, the Improved and enlarged menus for trans- portation by the St. Lawrence route termi. uate at Kingston’ on Lake Ontario, and do not reach Montreal, Between Kingston and Montreal the natural diflcuities remain un- changed, and tho capacity of the lowor canals have not been onlarged.

Andrew Jackson Is chiefly known and re- inembured In American history as the author of the spoils system.
